- At Diversity in YA, Malinda Lo combined her four-part Tumblr series on perceptions of diversity in books reviews. Lo says that, in reading hundreds of trade reviews of YA books, some consistent issues were found: reviewers saying diversity felt "contrived,"that books deal with "too many issues," and some calls for a glossary to "decode" the text.

- Laurie Halse Anderson tells Buzzfeed that more adults should read YA: "It can also give them insight into some of their own stuff, some of their own sadness and sorrows, and shine a light on maybe some work that they need to do emotionally, which is very helpful. And also, the writing’s amazing."

- Kelly Jensen wrote a piece on how coping with depression impacted her reading life: "Regular exposure to the message that seeking help, especially medication, is a sign of weakness and a means of numbing yourself to reality, sinks in. The last thing in the world I wanted as a writer and as a reader was to feel like the things that buoyed me through rough times would be the first things I’d lose when getting better."

- Kameron Hurley reacted poorly to Neil Gaiman's decision to name a short story collection, "Trigger Warnings." "[W]what you do when you title a rather typical short story collection “Trigger Warning” is that your work becomes part of the problem of breaking it down into meaninglessness and slapping it on any old thing as a marketing gimmick," she writes. "You co-opt a term used in feminist spaces, and you use it for shock value, to be edgy and subversive, instead of acting like an ally who has empathy and understanding of the term for its intended use."

- The Women of Library History Feminist Task Force has issued a call for submissions! In honor of Women's History Month in March, they will be posting daily stories on their Tumblr of those who identify as women, and have made significant contributions to their local libraries.
